Saskatoon Serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia)
Saskatoon or western serviceberry is a medium to large, upright, multi-stemmed shrub with four-season interest that produces an abundance of early season berries. The clusters of fragrant, white, drooping flowers appear in spring, followed by large, bluish-purple berries which are juicy and edible. Small blue-green leaves turn brilliant yellow and red in fall and the light gray bark is smooth with vertical streaks that add winter interest. Excellent for shrub borders, woodland gardens, and en masse.
